Named in honour of the water bucket (fons being Latin for fountain or water source) that was essential in its construction (along with heavy use of the /sethome command), Fort Fons is a Neo-Gothic inspired castle. Designed and built within 3 months, it is Microcosms' second large scale build in Freedonia.
